Prepping time: 25 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour
Serves: 8
INGREDIENTS PIE
- 1 pre-made pie shell, unbaked
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 large eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups eggnog
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
WHIPPED CREAM
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon bourbon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch kosher salt
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the Traeger grill with the lid closed to 375°F; this will take about 15 minutes.
- Line the premade pie shell with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans; make sure to spread the weights to the edges. Place on the grill and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove the pie weights and parchment paper and continue to cook until very light golden, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
- Make the filling: Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until combined. Add the eggnog, heavy cream, and vanilla and mix well. Set a fine sieve over the pie crust and pour the eggnog mixture through it into cooled crust.
- Preheat the Traeger with the lid closed to 350°F; lower it to 350°F if already going. Transfer the pie to the grill grate and bake until the pie is puffed and the outer 2 inches are set but the center is still a bit jiggly, 45 to 50 minutes. If the pie begins to brown too fast, cover it loosely with foil.
- Make the whipped cream: Using an electric mixer, whisk the cream for 2 minutes. Add the powdered sugar (sifted if lumpy), vanilla, bourbon, and salt. Whisk until soft peaks form. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
- Either top the pie with the whipped cream and then slice or slice and serve with a dollop of cream on each slice. Enjoy!
